Terrorist Attacks on Serb Houses and Institutions in Kosovo

6. January 2008 - 16:17

A synchronized terrorist action on New Year's Day saw
one house set on fire, while seven others, all belonging to local Serbs, were
stoned. The attacks occurred in Bošnjačka
Mahala, in northern Kosovska Mitrovica, according to a release issued today by
the Media Dep't of the Ministry and the Kosovo and Metohija Coordinating
Center.

First, two hours past midnight, the home of
Radovan Lazic was set on fire. A tragedy was avoided thanks to a timely
evacuation of all members of this family.

According to the statement, the fire squads
barely managed to put out the flames, which had seized a large part of the
house, rendering it uninhabitable.

At the same time, while the Albanians were
celebrating New Year's in the southern part of Mitrovica, accompanied by frenzied
firing from automatic weapons, seven Serb houses were stoned and damaged.

Houses
belonging to Goran Milutinović, Predrag Jevđić, Petar Jeremić, Dragiša Jeremić,
Radovan Janićijević, Dragoljub Memarović and Radoš Ljušić, were stoned. Luckily
enough, no one was injured in this series of synchronized attacks on homes
belonging to local Serbs.

The statement recalls that the terrorists
are also attacking Serbian institutions in Kosovo and that it is by no means a
coincidence that the building of the Komercijalna Banka AD Beograd in Dragaš had
become target of a bomb attack on New Year's Day.
